A Frank & Earnest Diary of a solitary woman documenting her stuggle to maintain a degree of sanity & order in her life while growing old and older in a kaotic seemingly OUT OF BALANCE world. Always a loner but never alone, reclusive by choice but living life of late vicariously through the mysteries & wonders of the world-wide-web, - Onward & Outward bound she ventures daily, pajama-clad into its "meanstreets & crowded highways," --and she IS NOT afraid!

My grandfather, God Bless him and may he rest in peace, paid cold hard cash for anything he ever bought in life. He paid cash for his cars. He paid cash for every house he ever purchased. His philosophy was simple. If you couldnt pay cash you couldnt afford it. Back in his day, if you didnt have the money for something, you learned to go without, to "make do," with what you had, and,.. you learned to survive. Nobody liked to have to ask for anything, let alone to borrow money. It was like admitting that you are a failure. If word got out around the neighborhood that someone was looking for a loan at the bank, the people would say, "Poor Mr so-and-so, he must not be doing well." In my grandfathers time, it was an embarassment to have to ask for anything. The measure of man was judged upon how well he could provide for himself and his family on his own, so you can imagine what a humbling experience it would have been to have to go "a'beggin'" for a loan. How far we have come from those days!

Today, everybody is asking for everything that they cannot really afford, houses, news cars, flat-screen TV's, computers, IPods, stereo systems and other electronices, designer clothes, etc. We are a society based on CONSUMPTION:

and our whole banking system and economy operates on the continual issuance of credit & debt. There is no such thing as "real money" anymore and there hasent been for a long long time. There is nothing behind our money to back up its value, nothing but the "promices" of the issuer. Our money today is just printed or struck creations of new debt represented by little pieces of paper and medal coins:
